Nope read again, I said alternately for that second bit. You couldn’t think both of those at the same time, but thinking them separately is valid. Either she sticks with Walt or not, those are her two possible endings.

But, these should be different groups of people criticizing her for different reasons then, right?

Like, having courage to report Walt is specifically because reporting Walt is the right thing to do.

And, having courage to stick with him is because of a belief that loyalty (or submissiveness) matters more than one’s obligation to the social good.

I think it’s mostly related. People see her behavior as hypocritical. She says she cares about the moral aspect, but never follows through. She says she cares about her family’s safety, but doesn’t really act consistently with that. And she starts to manage Walt’s business (willingly at first) but turns on him even when it might put the family in danger (like giving all their money to Ted).

She’s inconsistent/hypocritical because she lacks courage and conviction

I am extremely confused by this.

The Ted situation had to be handled. Like, not handling it was not an option. Isn’t trying to handle it, then, to keep the family’s secrets out of the IRS’s eyes, an example of her acting in the interest of the family’s safety? Are there different examples of her being callous and reckless?
